Do not recommend for anyone travelling with family. Entry smells a cigarette bomb went off. Portlander restaurant manager Logan was for lack of a better word, racist! Hotel rooms weren’t serviced properly daily. We had toddlers and were asked to keep it down at 7pm by hotel staff when kids were playing inside the room. Sauna was rubbish, didn’t work properly. Lifts were broken, we got stuck in one for a few minutes. Superior king rooms are anything but superior. Reception staff was one of the only positives including the cleaners.

Not deluxe rooms but harbour view lovely.

Be wary of deluxe harbour view room. The view is lovely. The rooms are not deluxe. Not by a long way. We had one and my daughter another on floor 13. Both of use had same experience. Worn furniture and odd toilet. Our room had missing kickboards. A mini fridge that could barely open because it was sitting unevenly and also the door opened the opposite way to the cupboard it was housed in. Antique A/C. Our tv reception was intermittent and the remote missing. The bathroom has a floor to ceiling glass wall into the bedroom with the toilet right at the glass, and ( in room 1104 at least ) also a motion activated light in the bathroom that creates a silhouette of everything the person in there is doing. It is very poorly thought out - but made us laugh at least. The bar and staff are lovely and were open Good Friday when most places weee not.
